Abstract:

Tamil Nadu is the leading producer of loose flowers in India. Dindigul is one of the major flower cultivation districts in Tamil Nadu. A flower crop survey was carried out in the Nilakottai Flower Market, Dindigul. There, much information was gathered through questionnaire method from thirty farmers about the cultivation of flower crops in that area, including climatic conditions, yield, value-added products, and various pests and diseases to flower crops. Then, other details were collected from ten commission agents and ten export agents in Nilakottai flower market regarding the marketing and

At 10 and 25 days after pinch, and at flowering, 5 shoots from each bench location were destructively sampled for leaf (node) number, stem diameter, stem length, and fresh and dry weights of stem, leaves, and flower bud. Time to visible bud, to color, and to flower from pinch were also recorded. Results were tabulated; an analysis of variance showed that the three rose cultivars produced flowers which were not significantly different within crop

Abstract:

Understanding diversity in flower-visitor assemblages helps us improve pollination of crops and support better biodiversity conservation outcomes. Much recent research has focused on drivers of crop-visitor diversity operating over spatial scales from fields to landscapes, such as pesticide and habitat management, while drivers operating over larger scales of continents and biogeographic realms are virtually unknown. Flower and visitor traits influence attraction of pollinators to flowers, and evolve in the context of associations that can be ancient or recent. Plants that have been adopted in

Abstract:

The floriculture industry in India is centered on cultivating traditional loose flowers in open fields and growing cut flowers in protected environments. Flowers are highly perishable compared to other horticultural crops, resulting in significantly higherpostharvest losses, estimated at 30-40% of the farm value. Despite notable progress in the area, production, and productivity of flower crops over the past two decades, minimizing postharvest losses remains a pressing challenge. Postharvest performance is governed by physiological processes in various flower parts, including leaves, stems, bu

Abstract:

Cucurbit crops, such as watermelon, pumpkin, and cucumber, exhibit distinct monoecious characteristics, with significant differences in the timing and morphology of staminate and pistillate flowers. Staminate flowers are typically smaller, borne on shorter pedicels, and characterized by prominent anther structures, whereas pistillate flowers are larger, borne on longer pedicels, and distinguished by well-developed ovary structures. Image recognition technology enables automated flower identification and classification, assisting farmers in optimizing pollination strategies and crop management.

Abstract:

Abstract Evolutionary forces have developed many types of insect-plant interactions over millennia, ranging from herbivory, which causes damage, to mutualism between plant pollinators. Pollinators are a very important part of the natural history of plant evolution. Plants have evolved distinguished characteristics of flowers that attract many types of insects. Other than pollinators, flower-visiting insects also consist of various insect groups. The aim of this research was to assess the breadth and depths of research on flower-visiting insects. The research was conducted using secondary data

An investigation was carried out to evaluate the growth and the flowering of some of the commercial annual flower crops as intercrop in coconut ecosystem. Commercial annual flower crops viz., African marigold, French marigold, celosia, gomphrena and China aster were grown as an intercrop in coconut plantation and also under open condition for comparison. The results of the experiment showed that all of the crops performed to its optimum in the coconut shade, but less well than the open condition.

Abstract:

In India, the floriculture industry is the second largest in the world, trailing only China. The total area under flower crops during 2023-24 was 285,000 hectares; production of loose flowers was estimated to be 21.52 lakh metric tons, and cut-flowers were 645 metric tons. Both fresh and dried cut flowers lead floriculture exports from India. (NHB, 2023-24). Among the plethora of flowers, the rose stands out as a plant with hundreds of species and thousands of cultivars, many of which are native to Asia. These roses are not only extensively used in commercial perfumery and pharmaceuticals but

Using spectral filters to reduce the amount of far-red (FR) light perceived by plants has been shown to effectively reduce internode elongation of many floriculture crops. It is theorized that gibberellin (GA) function is inhibited in some way by the increase in the red: far-red light ratio. Sex expression of flowers are effected by exogenous applications of gibberellin and cause a shift in flower sex expression towards maleness. The use of growth regulators (GA inhibitors) have demonstrated a shift towards femaleness. Flowering of spinach, a dioecious species, and cucumber (staminate and pist

Plant hormones are a group of naturally occurring, organic substances which influence physiological processes at low concentrations. There are six classical groups of plant hormones includes auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, ethylene, abscisic acid and brassinosteroids which occur naturally. The use of plant hormones in ornamental crops is more prevalent than in edible crops. The most common types of hormones used are gibberellins, ethylene and their antagonists. Gibberellic acids are one among them which are used to enhance stem elongation of many cut flowers and to promote bud break, thus pr

There were significant year-year differences in the size of flower crops for both species and significant tree-tree differences in black oak. About 7% of the white oak flowers matured into acorns; most flowers aborted by early July, just after fertilization. About 12% of the black oak flowers matured into acorns, but some individual trees never or rarely produced a mature acorn. The number of fertilized

Rabbiteye blueberries (Vaccinium ashei Reade) often exhibit poor fruit set under commercial field conditions. Problems of low fruit set have been attributed to short periods of flower receptivity in different fruit crops. This study seeks to establish the effective pollination period (EPP, defined as the number of days during which pollination is effective to produce a fruit) in rabbiteye blueberry. The cultivars Brightwell and Tifblue were chosen due to their known difference in fruit set and field performance. Flowers were hand pollinated 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 days after anthesis (DAA) using sel
